There's always a buzz about The Football Attic Kit Podcast when we invite a special guest to join us, and we're very pleased to say that's exactly what you can expect for Episode 13!

This time around, we're joined by Denis Hurley to talk about our favourite Republic of Ireland kits and as ever, we're picking our top three in the home and away categories. Which ones will we choose, and did we match all three of our away selections for the second podcast running?! Tune in to find out!

There's also an Ireland-themed Kit Off vote for you (details below) and some Kit News about Tottenham and Chelsea's switch to Nike next season.

Oh, and one thing to let you know about - unfortunately we had a number of technical difficulties as a result of using YouTube Live, and the result was some patchy audio quality at times during the podcast. We've tried to iron out as many of those issues as possible during the editing phase, but we'd like to apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of any remaining issues.

To hear Episode 13, you can subscribe to us on iTunes or you can download the podcast here. Thanks for listening!

KIT OFF - POLL CLOSED

We asked you to choose your favourite from three rare Republic of Ireland shirts that were only ever worn once, as chosen by Denis Hurley. Unfortunately this poll has now closed and we'll be announcing the winning shirt shortly, so don't forget to check back soon for details. Thanks for taking part!

While I may have put 2 books out with the majority of my kit collection in, I don't actually have a photo of the whole lot...mainly because the shirts are spread all over the house in loads of boxes.Classic Football Shirts (free advertising here guys...cough cough ;-P ) are currently getting people to showcase their collections using the hashtag #CFSCollectorsClub so I found a decent collage app and finally stitched (most) of them together...not literally...

Having posted this on Facebook, the tiny nature of the kits on display, coupled with FB's image compression, meant that most were impossible to make out.

So, here's the whole lot (give or take a few I don't have photos of)...

Enjoy...and revel in my obsession...click on it to see it full size...

Welcome to another 12-month period of adulation, criticism and analysis of the best kits the world has to offer, courtesy of your hosts, Chris Oakley and Rich Johnson.

To start the year off as we mean to go on, we bring you a new episode which this time features a Kit Collection discussion where we pick our favourite three home and away kits from the National League 2016-17. Yes, it's non-league fun all the way, not least because our Kit Off poll this week also takes its cue from tier 5 of football in England and Wales. See below for details...

As well as all that, we've also got some kit news that takes us almost to all four corners of the globe, plus we find out what football shirts you were hoping to get from Santa. And if you're still dissatisfied after all that, you really should try listening to somebody else's football kit podcast...

To hear Episode 12, you can subscribe to us on iTunes or you can download the podcast here. Thanks for listening!

KIT OFF - POLL CLOSED

We asked you to pick your favourite away shirt from three that belonged to National League teams in the 2016-17 season.
